The rhumerie of Chamarel has been making its best-selling rum products at its own distillery since 2008. They grow their own sugarcane, which are subsequently harvested by hand and carefully selected for the production of the Chamarel white and old rums. Freshly harvested sugarcane is transferred within four hours to the distillery to preserve its freshness and aromas. Visitors will have the opportunity to observe the distilling process before they taste some of the finest rum, some of which is carefully purified by a special process using the cognac method, which makes it a unique product full of aromas.

Enjoy a delicious lunch at ‘L’Alchimiste’ restaurant that specializes in a unique cuisine, prepared with local products sourced from the estate itself. (Located at Chamarel Rhumerie)

Renowned as being the most popular tourist attraction of the whole island, the Seven Coloured Earths of Chamarel is an essential on the list of anyone visiting Mauritius. Origination of volcanic basalt rocks, the rain and sun transformed them into the clay minerals they are today. Due to weather conditions, the rain washed away any water soluble substance leaving only compounds which give the soil its unique colour. The different quantity of these coloured compounds is what results in the soils to have distinctly different colours. What is even more impressive is if you mix the 7 earths together, they will end up separating and re-joining their unique colour.

The Chamarel Viewpoint is a family friendly spot for you to get an amazing panoramic view of the whole chamarel village laid beneath your eyes.

During closure, a photo stop will be made instead.

The last place in Mauritius to produce salt by the traditional method, the Tamarin Salt Pans is a place rich in local culture and history. Although all the current modern methods of producing salt, Tamarin salt pans still account for about a third of the salt produced in Mauritius. The salt water is pumped from the sea into large basins covering an area of 30 hectares where they are then left to evaporate. In the early mornings and evenings, experienced workers come and collect the salt cubes before they are crushed into smaller pieces if needed and packaged for use.

Located on the west coast of Mauritius, the lighthouse of Albion is an extremely popular destination amongst many tourists as well as locals.

Watch calmly as the strong waves hit the rocks and sprinkle fine drops of water all over the place. Spend a few minutes taking in the natural calm and serenity of the whole setting of this special place.
